Titanium Fatal1ty Pro and front panel audio

So I hooked up my case's front panel audio cable to the Titanium card and used the front panel connectors.
The sound quality is noticeably worse than using the back plugs. When I use the front panel mic, I also hear artifacts in the sound. When I play a game, I hear slight buzzes in accordance to what is coming out of the speakers.
I'm wondering if this is just the quality of my cases's cables or if it also happens with the official creative front panel accesory.
Anybody want to comment on quality?

/Re: Titanium Fatalty Pro and front panel audioQI had an older Audigy 2 dri've connected to my X-Fi Xtreme Music and that never had any interference. The X-Fi dri've bay can't be bought separately anymore.
When I switched to a newer X-Fi without a front panel, I used the case connectors and the sound quality was awful.
I think it's the way the connectors are wired and the build quality. Despite the really awful drivers Creative ship for their cards, the hardware's actually pretty good.
There're some guides on how to rewire front panel connectors to reduce noise:

Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatal1ty Professional and front panel audio compatabai

I recently purchased a XtremeGamer Fatalty Professional and was wondering if i could connect the front panel audio from my thermaltake case to it

Well, I don't believe that to be possible. I don't think Creative has ever put out pinouts for the cards. And I have a hunch that none of the pins carry analog audio through them (correct me if I'm wrong though).

Z77A-GD65 and front panel audio problem !!

I have a Z77A-GD65 and a case CM 690 II advanced window, and i connected the front panel audio correctly in the right port, and when i plug my headphones in the front audio jack, there is no sound !!!
Please help me !!

Ok, i've did this thing, now works, but the sound sounds only in the right side of the headphones, and the sound is very very slow....
which of the 2 audio header plugs did you connect to the mother board ac97 or HDaudio?
have you connected the headphones to the rear pannel connector of the motherboard to see if its better?

Audigy platimun and front panel audio ja

i manage to get my li've dri've fried a while back and has been without a means to audio out from a from panel. manage to hunt down a front panel that looks to be able to so, but looking through the post from here and google results, creative has been relati'vely reluntant to give info what the pin out info from their cards
there are some posts here that has infomation on them, but of Audigy 2 ZS and doesn't seen to be the same my card. therefore, i'm currently looking at trying to enable both my creative sound card AND motherboard onboard sould so that the front panel can use the connections on my motherboard instead. can this be done?
it will be even better if it can connect directly into my sound card though
connection of my front panel:
. Front - L
2. Front - R
3. Rear - L
4. Rear - R
5. Mic - L
6. Mic - R
7. Gnd
8. Bass
9. Center

Bump...can anyone help me here?

Beta driver for Titanium Fatal1ty Pro and windows 7 64 bit

I see there are beta drivers on the website for the X-Fi Titanium Fatalty Pro on Windows 7 64 bit.
The drivers are dated June 23, 200.
Are there any known problems with this set of drivers?

Now I can't find those beta drivers on the website anymore.
Did support take them down?
And do the current drivers dated: july 30, 2009 cause the shutdown bug in win 7 64 bit's

MSI P965 Platinum - Front Panel Audio u/s

Finally after managing to get XP Pro SP1 CD to install, I have a stable system, and thanks to those whom freely gave advice.
But we hit the next issue with this motherboard, the front panel audio.
Firstly the Realtek detection software doesn't detect anything plugged into the front panel.
Connected the cables as follows from my Coolermaster Stacker case;
mobo = case wires/colour
pin1 aud-mic = mic-in - yellow
pin2 aug-gnd = gnd - black
pin3 aud-mc-bas = mic-pwr - red
pin4 aud-vcc = empty
pin5 aud-fpout-R = R out - green
pin6 aud-ret-R = R ret - green
pin7 hp-on = empty
pin8 key
pin9 aud-fpout-L = L out - white
pin0 aud-ret-L = L ret - white
The above pin out gives nothing at all, but audio from rear ports on the computer motherboard is fine.
I also tried the following,
where the microphone wires were left disconnected, therefore just the speakers plugged into the front panel audio header
mobo = case wires/colour
pin1 aud-mic =
pin2 aug-gnd = gnd - black
pin3 aud-mc-bas =
pin4 aud-vcc = empty
pin5 aud-fpout-R = R out - green
pin6 aud-ret-R = R ret - green
pin7 hp-on = empty
pin8 key
pin9 aud-fpout-L = L out - white
pin0 aud-ret-L = L ret - white
The above still gave me no audio out from the front panel.
Intrestingly if I leave the front panel audio header blank, I still get rear audio fine, where I would have expected to have put jumpers across the L and R outputs as is the norm.
I have removed the front panel from the computer to ensure that the wires terminate OK, and have not been pulled out/off.
Have I plugged in the wires correctly?
Is there some hidden setting that I have missed, I admit that I do not like the Realtek audio software?
I cannot find any way to boost the microphone input since Realtek audio software has been installed.
One day case/mobo manufactures will use a standard for the front panel headers and front panel audio headers, and we will have a simple single plug to insert, rather than a group of single fiddly connectors that have to be attached to a header that was at the last minute attached to the motherboard as far away from the front of the case, and in the darkest most fiddle corner.
Oh well......
Cheers

AaronYuri - you're are so right there my friend. I just pity Joe User whom might attempt such a move themselves.
In the end my entire issue was software related, and that has to be blamed on Realteks software, far too many options approached from far too many different angles. Audio is really simple, plug your cables in, and it should just work, certainly in the simple case of 2-1 speakers and a microphone. Why exactly it took a couple of hours to figure out how to get the front panel microphone to be seen in the first place, let alone any signal, is beyond me.
So my cables were all connected correctly as per the MSI manual, confirmed by my Abit manual and other post here and on other forums.
In the Realtek MSI audio software, on the I/O Audio tab, connector settings, I had to select 'disable front panel jack detection' and 'mute rear panel output when front headphones plugged in'. The other option here 'enable auto pop up...' is unchecked.
After this the Realtek software mentioned something about a new profile had been set up?
I then went to Windows Control Panel, Sounds and Audio devices, and selected the voice tab, on this page I selected 'mic IN at front panel [pink]' from the drop down list for Voice Recording'. Proceeded to 'test hardware' and the microphone is now working. This option to select the input in the drop down list was not available before.
All a bit of POKE and HOPE.
But we seem to be there.

Does Front Panel Audio Work When Using RCA Outputs from the X-Fi Titanium HD PCIe Sound Card?

I see that the rear panel headphone output is disabled when the soundcard RCA jacks are used.
But is it possible to have the front panel audio output work at the same time that the RCA jacks are in use or is it also disabled?
I am willing to tolerate inferior quality audio feeding my monitor and use the RCA jacks for my headphone amp.

I was able to construct a work around for this problem. A Y splitter from the RCA outputs is an option but can degrade the sound because of the uneven load presented to the soundcard.
Ten eleven inch Apevia CVTAUDIOE25 HD Audio extension cables were connected together in series to a SilverStone FP32 3.5 audio front panel bay. The extension cables were connected to the front panel audio connectors on the Titanium HD sound card and then the cables were run out of the computer case and up to the area near my keyboard. I connected the front panel audio bay to the extension cable and the bay sits next to the keyboard. When no 3.5 mm stereo cable is connected to the front bay near the keyboard the sound is normal out of the rear outputs. But when a 3.5 mm audio cable is plugged into the front panel bay audio there is sound out of the SilverStone front panel bay. The sound is still muted out of the rear RCA jacks when the plug is put in the front bay but it is only used when the main audio outputs are not required.
The function for me is that the front bay serves the same purpose that the previous front panel 3.5 mm audio extension cable did.
There are photos of this under a different user name on Audio Asylum PC Audio.

Front Panel Audio Issues on both Z97 and X99

Hello,
I am an owner of a Z97 PC Mate and a X99s SLI Plus Mobo.
On both of these mobos, with the latest realtek drivers I cannot get front panel audio working.
I have also tried the MSI drivers for each mobo from the product pages.
I have "Disable front panel jack detection" enabled on both. If I disable this, it shows the jacks not being utilized.
The realtek hd manager shows that both the front panel headphone and mic jack are being utiliized, even with nothing is plugged in and if I have the front panel header disconnected from the mobo. On each model I made sure that HD Audio is enabled in the UEFI.
I feel that since I am having the issue on two seperate products that there is a similar issue between each that I cannot figure out. I do not have this issue on my ASUS Z77 Sabertooth.

Hi
What is the case are you using?
Also are you sure you plug the front audio properly? Or if there are no bent/missing pins? I am on my 3rd MSI board (I switch a lot :D ) but all worked fine with my case.
Try using audio while either board is running on non conductive surface (e.g. wooden table or motherboard box). Might be something shortening the board.
I've tried both boards in all 3 cases I own.

Help RE:Front Panel Audio and Sound Blaster Live! 24 Bit C

I own Soundblaster Li've! 24-bit card.
I would like to make use of the front panel audio jacks on my case but i have no idea where on the card to connect the pins on the card ( the pins are:Mic In, Mic Power, Ear R, Ear R, Ear L, Ear L, GND)
Anyone know where exactly do each of these pins go?

Maybe this site can give some light on this matter - http://audigy2zshowto.blogspot.com/

Titanium Fatal1ty Pro product numbers?

I've discovered this, and I am honestly quite confused.
On Creative's official store, the Titanium Fatal1ty Pro has the SKU 70SB088600002 . Looking at my own local stores, I see a very similar code (70SB088600000), where the only difference is the last digit being 0 instead of 2. That's not all though. Some retailers also have the quite different code of 30SB088600000 . That's three SKUs, apparently for the same product. Nothing indicates that either is the champion edition (the package including a front bay). Do these differ somehow?

You can use the product page on the online store as a reference to make sure that you are not missing anything. If you are buying from an online reseller, you might want to sure they are authorised & trustworthy retailers.

K8N Neo Platinum + Sonata Front Panel Audio Problem

Hello,
The front panel audio speaker output is reversed when using headphones on my K8N Neo Platinum and Antec Sonata case. If I swap the left and right front panel audio output signal connectors, the headphone speakers are fine, but then my normal front speakers are reversed. All other connectors seem to be plugged in correctly. I've tried using nvswap, but doesn't seem to work on nForce3. Currently using Realtek driver version 5.10.0.5620 (had the same problem with the drivers included on mb cd) on WinXP Pro SP1 and 5.1 speaker setup (would like to use FPA for mic/headphones while gaming).
Let me know if you need any additional info.
Thanks.

I am having the same problem as well. Was able to correct front output jack by switching the connections. But rear audio is still backwards. I havent tried any sort of 5.1 or 7.1 channel audio setups

MSI K9A2-CF front panel audio problem

Just rebuilt a computer using the board. Please note, I have not updated the BIOS at all and I am using XP Pro. Anywho, I've tried everything under the sun, so far, aside from previously stated, to get this sucker to work. I have it connected properly, I've installed every audio driver on the motherboard CD. I can't find a setting in the BIOS to turn on front panel audio either. Everything else works fine though. USB's, HD audio connections in the back, etc. The program in windows will detect all inputs except for the front audio in and out.
I'm a bit stumped. Any suggestions?

Quote from: Bas on 17-August-09, 22:22:14
You have to check the wires on the plug, looks like they are wrong or the case-module is broken somewhere.
You have to start checking and measuring with an Ohm-meter.
Remember, neither case front worked. I'm not saying it couldn't be the case, but I'll try to get my hands on an Ohm-meter. Where can I find out what values I'm looking for? I know next to nothing about testing to that extent.
Also, what if it's the motherboard itself? Isn't there somewhere in the bios and/or windows device manager that I can confirm whether or not the device itself is working, or not working, properly?
Thanks for your replies so far.
Mike,
I honestly don't know, but the case only has one audio cable, and the MB only has one audio plug-in for the front panel. I have both drivers installed. The on-board audio plug-in on the rear of the computer works fine. I can get sound, etc, no problem from the rear. Front panel only is not working.

Gigaworks S750 cables for the X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Pro Card?

Hey guys,
I got a nice Gigaworks S750 7.1 speaker system and want to use it with my new X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Pro card. The Fatal1ty pro has analog outputs for a 7.1 sound system, but the Gigaworks doesn't have the same layout. Can anyone help me find the cables I need to get this setup running?

Hi,
There are 4 Line Outs on the X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Pro card.
Line Out 1 jack - Connects to the Front Left and Front Right inputs
Line Out 2 jack - Connects to the Side Left and Side Right inputs
Line Out 3 jack - Connects to the Front Center and Subwoofer inputs
Line Out 4 jack - Connects to the Rear Left and Rear Right inputs
You might want to refer to the user manual of the sound card and speakers system for more information.
You can still utilize the suppiled 7.1 cable. Just leave out the grey connector (side speakers) and use a single 3.5mm cable to hook up both ends.

What case do you have? If it is an older case with AC97 audio then you would need to purchase something like one of these: http://www.amazon.com/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=hd+audio+front+panel&tag=googhydr-20&index=electronics&hvadid=54539991636&hvpos=1t2&hvexid=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=11069445173547096755&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=b&hvdev=c&ref=pd_sl_2w99a9udvo_b
I simply got me an inexpensive case for my last upgrade since I also needed front panel USB 3 and up to date card reader in addition to the HD audio. My case was only $10 more (free shipping at time of purchase ) than the front panel module I needed so I got the new case you see in my signature instead.
